Fairhaven High School sends 130 into the world

The Fairhaven High School class of 2019 officially left the world of high school on a sunny Sunday, afternoon, 6/2, stepping out to begin the next phase of their young lives.

The outdoor ceremony included musical arrangements by the FHS band, presentation of awards, class gift, and announcement of scholar­ships received by the students. Student speakers included Saluta­torian Phoebe Antonio, and Valedic­torian Samantha Costa. Superintendent Dr. Robert Baldwin and Principal Andrew Kulak also spoke to students.

The bright and sunny day meant that the ceremony was held outside, so there was plenty of room for lots of family and friends.
